Who's there?
Lisa?
Is that you, Lisa?
This is the answer to the riddle.
Oh, my!
The joker you guys are waving around isn't a toy.
The police have definitely connected us to the stolen plutonium.
I will never forgive you!
"Sphinx Case - Met Police Dept has found and disarmed bomb"
Forced out by the world
"Terror in Resonance"
On top of an outrageously thin needle
Trying to find my balance
The tip of my finger touches you
And I know I'm not alone
With the single bent wing we were given
From when I was born
(Until I die)
I'll ask what you want to do
Because your smile is like that of an angel
In the heat of summer
(Getting distorted)
Out of the gaps between the cluster of burning buildings
We fall down
I'll pull (I'll pull)
The last trigger (last trigger)
Winter covers everything
Right now? I'm in Shibuya.
It started raining suddenly.
Yeah, it was a sudden shower. I like totally want it to stop.
"Mom"
Uh-oh, looks like someone got caught.
They look like high schoolers.
That sucks. It's pretty funny, though.
Here are the results of expert examination of the bomb retrieved from the Ikeshita building
next to the Shirahige Shrine in Katsushika.
"Tokyo Serial Bombing Terrorist Attacks"
The type of bomb used in this attack is also known as an ANFO bomb.
From the model number on the electric detonator,
"Eletric detonator" "Explosives used in the bombs (ANFO)" "Place purchased: Showa Gunpowder, Inc."
we discovered that it was purchased from a manufacturer called Showa Gunpowder.
There is--
Wait a minute.
Are you saying that the culprits bought a bomb used by terrorists from the manufacturer?
As long as their application form is approved by the Tokyo government office,
anyone can buy one.
Please continue.
Yes.
The suspect pretended to be an employee of a building contractor called Hanabayashi,
forged an application form, and illegally obtained someone else's credit card
and used it to buy gunpowder.
Obtained someone else's credit card?
Using a type of illegal website from Russia or China,
a regular card can be obtained for a dollar.
Because virtual currency was used to buy the card,
"Virtual currency used to buy goods" "Process used to purchase fake credit card" "Exchange rate for the virtual currency, Kittocoin"
it is impossible to trace the transaction.
My subordinates are combing through the surveillance footage from Showa Gunpowder
looking for the suspect as he picks up the explosives.
In addition, regarding the usage history of the credit card,
it was used to purchase electrical tape, a delivery box,
"Credit card statement for card used in the crime" "Items purchased from online shopping site"
a soba shop worker's clothes, and other things.
Where were they purchased?
On the internet shopping site, Amazon.
Each time, the packages were picked up at the convenience store,
but there is no surveillance video left from when they picked them up.
So what you're saying is,
we don't have a single clue as to the present status of the culprits,
is that it?
It feels like the more we chase the evidence, the further we get from those guys.
Yeah, it's possible that this is all part of their plan.
You're giving them too much credit.
I don't think those kids could pull off a stunt like that.
Shibazaki seems to think they can.
Speaking of which, where did he go?
He said he was going to Aomori...
Excuse me, are you Yoshiharu Ebisuno?
Huh?
I am Shibazaki from the Metropolitan Police Department.
This guy do somethin'?
He's just a witness for a small incident.
I asked around, but no one seems to remember him.
Well, he warn't one to git along wi' others.
Even durin' lunch, he always had them earphones in 'is ears.
So I asked 'im once, "Whatcher always listenin' to?"
An' he said, "Music from a cold land."
"A cold land"?
Do you remember anything else?
Even just a trivial thing?
Well, when I asked 'im what 'is pops did,
he sudd'nly got real quiet.
I thought mebbe I'd hit a nerve or somethin'.
Father, Oedipus, killing his father...
"Sphinx Weather Forecast"
Riddles, bombs, and plutonium...
How in the world are they all connected?
That's the Metropolitan Police Department for you. We won't get in easily.
No, but that means somebody made it.
There has to be a backdoor.
Hm? That one looked a little suspicious.
Oh!
It's a webshell.
Bingo!
Anyway, I replied to him and it said he read it, but he never replied back.
"Mom"
Seriously, what's the deal with that?
I mean, what the hell?
How was Aomori? It was cooler there, wasn't it?
It wasn't that different from here.
Can I bum a smoke?
I thought you quit.
One. Just one.
Well? Were you able to get a read on the culprit?
He didn't talk or socialize with anyone,
and very few employees even remembered that a man like him worked there in the first place.
It makes one wonder if the guy even exists.
It's like he's a ghost.
These guys have covered all their tracks so far.
They probably thought they did this time, too.
Then why did you go all the way to Aomori?
No matter how cleverly you erase records and tracks,
you can't erase a person's memory.
Besides...
What is it?
I wanted to feel it.
The view they saw.
The sounds they heard.
The air they breathed.
To feel those things.
Okay, I'm going out for a bit to buy some things.
I'll finish up the next present.
A summer gift? Well, we must keep up appearances.
"Kenjiro Shibazaki"
"Lisa Mishima"
Not that it's got anything to do with us.
Shibazaki, I hate to say this since you're paying,
but really, this kind of ramen?
Hey, what does the phrase "music from a cold land" make you think of?
"A cold land"?
Hmm... "Cape Erino" or "Shiretoko Journey"?
Hm?
"Sphinx Case" "New Crime Announcement?"
We interrupt this program for breaking news.
We have just received additional information regarding the terrorist bomb attacks.
A video appearing to announce a new attack has been made public on a video sharing site.
Yeah, I'm watching it right now.
"Sphinx's Time Shock Bomb"
Good evening, this is Sphinx Number 1.
I love curry and soba noodles,
but I love bombs more! I'm Number 2.
Now it's time for today's quiz, Time Shock Bomb.
At the place where the king who solved the riddle received a scary prophecy,
whose name would you carve on its entrance?
"I saw the crime announcement! At Shibuya Station now." "What is this? It's scary... Is it real?"
If you don't know, there'll be a huge blast from a hidden bomb.
"Another one! Another crime announcement!" "Did everyone see it? Sphinx"
"I saw it! I saw it I saw it! A bomb, they said." "Sphinx! Sphinx! Sphinx! Sphinx! Sphinx! Sphinx!" "What, a bomb? Too scary~"
Please try your best to stop the bomb!
I hope you'll play with kids like us without cheating.
"Did you see it?" "I did." "I did." "I did." "I didn't." I" did."
Well then, we'll be waiting at the king's final destination.
Oh, and when you come, use letters, not bronze.
The footage you just saw was of the video that was just made public.
--Huh? Wait! Shibazaki, the money! --The content seems similar to the previous...
The final destination
of the king who solved the riddle, Oedipus, was the underworld.
Oedipus, who had gouged out his own eyes,
was guided by his two daughters down the bronze stairs into the underworld.
But those guys said to use letters instead of bronze.
A stair of letters?
Yes. The place you reach when you go down a stair of letters...
"Sphinx's Time Shock Bomb"
Here.
This is...
Those kids.
So the Internet is the underworld?
"Delphi"
Delphi?
That's where Oedipus received the prophecy.
There are three maxims inscribed at the entrance to the temple there.
"Oracle at Delphi"
"Know thyself."
"Nothing in excess."
"Make a pledge and mischief is nigh."
Last time, it was a shrine. A temple seems very possible.
No, if we enter the name of the person the maxims are referring to here,
the bomb will probably stop.
I'm sure that's just something to make us waste time.
Yeah, they're just trying to take advantage.
No...
This is the Roppongi Police Station from before?
So we have until midnight?
For now, all we can do is get the help of the authorities
and search all the temples and shrines one by one.
I'll make the arrangements.
Wait, what are you doing?
Damn it, quit messing around!
This is the first time those guys made a request.
They want us to play with them.
It might be their response to what I said the other day.
"Terror in Resonance"
Hey, whatcha doin'?
You by yourself?
Wanna play with us?
I know of a nice place.
No!
"Watched" "Unwatched"
"I won't get too involved."
You said so yourself, didn't you?
I know. I won't get too involved.
But you know...
What?
It looks like she ran away from home.
If she gets taken into custody and talks about us,
it'll be trouble, right?
So?
I think it'd be better if we watched her closely.
You should've sacrificed your queen.
First, please take a look at this.
This is footage of the person who bought the explosives at Showa Gunpowder.
Next, please look at this.
This is the surveillance footage from a certain apartment building.
And finally, this.
He's getting off the elevator on the 6th floor.
You're sure about this?
This is an emergency deployment.
Send the special investigation team and the bomb disposal team.
Yes, sir!
Shibazaki! We've discovered where they are hiding!
--What? --Those guys have finally made a mistake.
Let's head over immediately.
I'll leave that to you.
What? There's no need to solve the riddle anymore.
They said to "stop the bomb."
Last time they said "search for," this time it's "stop."
That's...
Besides, they even warned us not to cheat.
This probably means...
You're just enjoying the game like those kids!
Is it all right to leave it at that? Shibazaki?
Whatcha doin'?
Go home.
It's dangerous to wander around places like this.
Leave me alone.
It'll be trouble for me if I let you wander around.
I said, leave me alone!
It's not like I have anywhere to go home to...
I'm so stupid.
At that time, I thought I could escape.
I thought I'd be taken somewhere out of this world.
I got my hopes up a little.
But that's impossible, isn't it?
I'm not playing by the rules.
As if anyone would just take me away when I wanted them to.
I'm so stupid.
"Metropolitan Police Department"
Good evening.
What are you doing out this late?
What are you doing, Shibazaki? This is a super no smoking area.
Window.
Is your head all right?
Aw, jeez...
It was impossible for you to quit smoking from the start.
Seriously, do you know yourself at all?
"Know thyself." "Nothing in excess." "Make a pledge and mischief is nigh."
"Know thyself"
Hey!
"Know thyself."
Don't tell me...!
Correct!
Why?
Why won't it stop?!
Even though you got it right, these people are cheating,
so the hidden bomb cannot be stopped!
So, boom!
What?
"They messed up?" "Crap" "It was real" "Fail" "It's no good" "It's all over for Japan"
"The person who reported this will be caught in 3 days" "Police are scum after all"
Don't tell me these are...
Yes, these are the investigation reports for these terrorist attacks.
Yes, these are the real investigation reports.
It is unclear how they broke in.
Hey, are you going to destroy it?
Huh?
Are you going to destroy the whole world?
It's been a really long time since I've laughed like this.
Hey--
No.
But, don't you think it'd be better if we had someone they don't know around?
We can't trust her.
Don't you understand?
We're running out of time.
But that doesn't mean Lisa is...
Will anyone sprinkle the ocean over my head?
I want to be showered by submerged fish and sun
The brilliant unknown
The magic that disappears when I stumble
As if looking at the cracked sky through a glass slide
On the roof of an abandoned building
Surrounding the murmur of down feathers
We are a song
Clad in the throbbing
Of the light decorating the ashen ground
We are a bouquet
Wings pulled out
